Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry discussed on Monday several issues with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, primarily focusing on the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and ways to achieve a permanent ceasefire during a meeting ahead of the BRICS Ministerial Meeting in Nizhny, Novgorod.

During the meeting, Shoukry emphasized efforts being made regarding Egyptian-Qatari mediation to reach a deal that would lead to a prisoner exchange, the delivery of aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and ultimately achieving a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, as per Ahmad Abu Zeid, the official spokesperson and director of Public Diplomacy at the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
